Earl hasn't gotten the speed of the tournament table down yet.

Let's get it on!!!

Yes, China is still in it. The match you watched was the last match they had. China faces Austria in the first match (of 4 matches total for the day) on Saturday morning.

I missed this match live because I was taking a nap. I watched it later, knowing the outcome, and I kept thinking that someone had to have made a mistake in publishing who won the set. Once Canada was down to the last 4 balls or so of the final rack I keep thinking to myself, "There is no way...

I wonder if that guy will ever show up in a big tournament in the U.S. There are a handful of clips on YouTube of him and Efren playing for money. Most of the clips that I've seen, he's giving Efren weight. If he's good enough to give Efren weight (although Efren's best days are behind him)...

I don't think that handicapping itself hinders a player's advancement. I've come to accept that some players are just not motivated to get significantly better. I've been teammates with people that have been the same low skill level for over a decade.

It makes the most sense to me to have US vs England A last since that's the match that has the most hype built around it.

You can trust the betting website. I'll take the word of the organizer's website: http://www.matchroompool.com/world-cup-pool/article/12p9pwe0kdstj188mytnga5jpv/title/wcop-match-schedule-announced

I'm not sure if the scheduled change since you made your post, but tomorrow's matches are as follows: China v Austria will be the first match of the first session and Philippines v Finland will be the second match of the first session. Holland v Germany will be the first match of the second...

I have to applaud Earl for keeping his composure (relatively). He did show a lot of displeasure with some of Shane's and his own CB positioning, but for the most part he was able to control his emotions. I think his biggest "outburst" today was when he hit his cue on the table after playing a...

The UK crowd is trying to get under the US's skin at the beginning of the match. Someone yelled "GET IN THE HOLE!" as soon as Shane broke the first rack.

The matches from this morning are already available on genipool14's YouTube channel.

If there wasn't an element of randomness/luck inherent with the break then I would be inclined to agree with you. However some illegal breaks don't occur due to something that the breaker did or didn't do. I like how Inaction made light of the randomness of the rule in post #8 when he said if...

I respect your opinion, but did you see the break that cost India the match? Even the announcers questioned whether the illegal break was caused by him being full of adrenaline and breaking the balls too hard.

Quick question for everyone that feels that India got robbed (just as I feel)... Would we be complaining about the illegal break rule as much if it would have screwed England B instead of India? If the upcoming USA-Russia were to go to hill-hill with Russia to break, I'd be overjoyed if Russia...

It would be good. A ball pocketed counts as a ball having past the head string.

I agree with these.

Thanks, I needed that laugh after seeing India get robbed by the illegal break rule. The game that put India on the hill was probably the best game of the tournament up to this point.

The illegal break rule just cost India the match against England B. Very tough break. I was really rooting for India to win that match.

Might have to eat my words, but India just played the best game of the tournament in rack #12. edit. Looks like India might get screwed by the illegal break rule.
